Visit with Philip and Krista at the Farm

 My mom was having a good chuckle this weekend with our visit at the farm. The picture itself is a little soft and out of focus, but I love her happy expression.

 Of course, Philip wanted a rematch with his dad on the arm wrestling. Todd was laughing and talking the whole time, why was Phil so red?  They decided it was a tie, but I'm still not sure that Todd was even really trying.

 Philip tried to out grip Grandpa, and I think he suffered for it. Grandpa maybe 80 years old, but he's got one awesome grip!

 Philip and his girl friend Krista.

 Kristi and Krista. 

Yup, we had some confusion a few times with the names this weekend. And it looks like Kristi has passed up Krista on the height department. Don't feel bad Krista, she's taller than me too.

Grandpa Don and Philip.

Every child's life is enriched when he has a grand parent to love. If you don't have one still living, adopt one.

Love that Smile!

Last Sunday afternoon we went bowling with members from Word of Faith Church.  I think I was in the running for the most gutter balls, but all in all it was a lot of fun. Kristi was bowling with some of the young gals from WOF and I looked over and saw this wonderful smile on her face. To see her laughing and having a good time, almost brought tears to my eyes. Life has been pretty lonely and boring here for Kristi, so it was so fun to see her having a good time. Thank you Word of Faith for the opportunity!

This was not my ball cause it's not in the gutter!!

In Memory of Susie (the horse)

My sister-in-law Tammy loves riding and competing in Ranch Horse Competitions. This is a picture from this summer when she was competing.   Tammy and her boyfriend Dan were in a serious car accident last night on their way home from practicing their horses.  A man went through a stop sign and hit their rig going over 70 mph.  Dan and Tam suffered minor injuries, but the other man was killed.  Tam's horse Susie's injuries were too many and had to be put down today.  So I post this picture remembering a good horse, and also thankful to the Lord for sparing Tammy and Dan's lives.

Old Barn on Highway 3

 This old barn is along the highway south of Wishek on Highway 3. I had also photographed it last August, so here it is in two seasons. I think I like the green one better. :-)
